Terms & Conditions

It is mutually agreed that the following terms of agreement form an integral part of this contract and that no variation or modification of this contract shall be effective unless accepted by both Samphire Photography and the Client, in writing.

BOOKING FEE(s)

Any bookings fees due are required at the time of booking in order to reserve the appointment unless otherwise confirmed by Samphire Photography. Payment may be paid by cash or cheque. Please make cheques payable to Clare Newman.

PAYMENT

Payment for all items ordered must be made on collection; a full price list is available on our website.

CREATIVE LICENCE

Samphire Photography shall be granted creative and artistic licence in relation to the choice of locations and poses used. Samphire Photography’s judgment on photographic style and the number of photographs taken shall be deemed correct. Some photographs may not be possible due to changes of the weather and the availability and willingness of subjects. Samphire Photography will make every effort to undertake requested photographs but are unable to guarantee that specific pictures, backgrounds, locations or group arrangements will be achievable.

IMAGES AND COLOUR MATCHING

Retouching of images will be at the discretion of Samphire Photography. Basic retouches are included in the package price. However, if the client requests particularly detailed digital manipulation of images, beyond that of basic enhancement of presentation, a charge maybe incurred. This will be agreed in writing prior to any work commencing.

Samphire Photography is unable to guarantee an absolute colour match due to light reflection on certain materials. However, all images will be colour balanced to ensure a ‘close as possible’ match.

All digital files are the property of Samphire Photography. Where a high resolution CD or memory stick is purchased after a portrait session, Samphire Photography gives permission for the Client to use the images freely. However, ownership of the images remains with Samphire Photography.

COPYRIGHT

The 1998 Copyright, Designs, and Patents Act assigns copyright to Samphire Photography. You may not copy the photographs taken under this contact, or allow copies to be made photographically, electronically, or by any other means, without the written permission of Samphire Photography. Images may be used in all forms and media for advertising purposes of Samphire Photography only. If you would prefer your images not to be used for this purpose then please notify Samphire Photography in writing.

IMAGE STORAGE

Images are initially uploaded to an online gallery for 1 month after which time if no orders are placed Samphire Photography cannot be held responsible for any damage/loss of files in the case of a digital disaster. Images from each portrait session will be digitally stored for up to 5 years, after which time Samphire Photography will delete all relevant files from its database. The client will be informed in writing before this takes place. Samphire Photography cannot be held accountable if the client cannot be reached using the contact details supplied. Requests to delete files before this time need to be made in writing.

FORCE MAJEURE

In the unlikely event of total photographic failure, injury or sickness beyond Samphire Photography’s control, their liability shall be limited to a full refund of all monies paid. Your statutory rights are not affected. Samphire Photography has full Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance.

CANCELLATION

If Samphire Photography has to cancel the appointment for reasons beyond their control (death, injury, sickness, etc.), their liability shall be limited to a full refund of all monies paid. If the Client cancels the appointment an unconditional refund policy exists up until 7 days prior to the reserved slot at which point the full Booking Fee will be retained by Samphire Photography.

POSTPONEMENT

Should the cancelled appointment turn out to be a postponement, then, subject to Samphire Photography’s availability, all monies paid may be applied to the new appointment. If, following a postponement by the client, a new date cannot be agreed by both parties, the full booking fee will be retained by Samphire Photography.

POSTPONEMENT DUE TO ADVERSE WEATHER

If the appointment has to be cancelled by Samphire Photography due to adverse weather conditions a new, mutually agreed appointment will be made. However, if the Client would like a Booking Fee refund, this will be granted.

Portrait sessions are very relaxed and fun for everyone, old and new. I work from my home studio or on location to capture natural portraits of you and your family. Milestone sessions are available for younger children to capture those important early stages such as sitting, crawling, and walking. Whether you are looking for relaxed images or something more formal, I work closely with you to ensure we get images that reflect your family at their best.

About Me

I am a mummy to three young children and wife of one very loving and understanding husband. Photography has always been my passion for as long as I can remember and I have been immersed in photography and imaging for most of my life.
I love the beach, (my Cornish roots), the smell of fresh cold air coming through the window in the morning, coffee and laughing with my family.
